Nightmare Scenario Unfolding: Hey-Bey to work out with Eagles

I can only think of one thing off-hand more saddening then Darrius Heyward-Bey being drafted by the Eagles, and that was having to watch Art Monk play as an Eagle the last season of his illustrious career in the burgundy and gold.
I attended multiple Terps game this year, and having to see a guy I cheered for potentially tear it up against the Redskins two times a year is maddening. Darrius was born in Silver Spring, MD, and attended McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, where he played WR and Linebacker. He was recruited by Alabama, Boston College, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, and Virginia, before ultimately choosing to attend Maryland.
We've all seen what McNabb does with both crap receivers and stud receivers. (It really is amazing the Eagles won as many games as they did with Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell as their wideouts.)
From the Eagles SB Nation blog, Bleeding Green Nation:
The Eagles are hoping to arrange a private workout with Maryland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Heyward-Bey has already worked out with the Baltimore Ravens, who brought in quarterback Joe Flacco to throw to him. Tampa Bay reportedly has a visit scheduled and Minnesota is looking to arrange a visit.
Hey-Bey would no doubt put up pro-bowl numbers with McNabb under center and DeShaun Jackson on the other side. So let's just hope a team in front of the Eagles picks him first. There are rumors the Raiders are looking to take Hey-Bey with the 7th overall pick. In regards to the Redskins, we all know Vinny is crazy enough to draft a WR in the first round. This might be the only situation I'd be OK with it!!

On a side note..
If anyone ever says “Fear the Turtle” is lame…check out this video that KSK and Mr. Irrelevant found.
Dallas
One bit of a good news is that since Dallas doesn’t have a 1st round pick, it’s pretty much a 100% chance he will not be wearing the star, so I can sleep easy on that.
trade back into it with what?
They’ve got nothing to offer.

Jason Witten?? (Hopefully)
Seriously, I don’t know. I just wouldn’t be surprised if they did it, that’s all.
Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.
he's over rated.
let him go to philly or dallas. landry, moore and horton will yoke “hey-bey” up. shyts weak.
nightmare
Is the picture of Monk, get it off the front page!
He should be gone by the time philly picks, thank goodness
-Again trading back from 13 for 2 or 3 more picks would allow the Redskins to pick another reciever, not really but then again the FO could trade up for less picks to get a QB. Nothing is surprising
Darrius!
I want him to be a ’Skin so badly. I went to McDonogh with him (and Maryland with him now)— imagine this. He played Defensive END for at least two years when I was there! Imagine that speed (4.3) coming off the edge! He also was a track All-American and was clocked in HS running a 4.2 on a surface indoors… He was a good basketball player too. What a beast.
He’s a great player and a great person. I think that he will flourish wherever he goes — but I will be happy if it is anywhere but the Eagles/Giants/Girls. He wants to go the Ravens… but I know he would be pumped to be a Skin. If we do trade down, I would love to see him as a Redskin. But anywhere besides the NFC East would be nice.
Any chance?
Any chance Hey-Bey would refuse to play for the Cowboys/Eagles? I’m trying to remember the player that did that in the past (told the Cowboys not to draft b/c he’d never play for them).
I doubt it
To my knowledge he’s more of a Ravens fan anyway.
I think the Raven's
plan to draft him.Which makes sense because they need receiver’s (multiple) and we don’t.We desperately need o-linemen.
And a Punter...
seriously. ugh.
I just read the Ravens re-signed their pro-bowl Punter Koch to a tender…he was a RFA, where if another team signed him and the Ravens didnt match, the other team had to give up a 2nd round pick. Koch must have the worst agent ever.

As somebody who doesn't
have any sentimental connection to UMd, (Besides a few friends) I really hope we don’t take another high-pick receiver this year — even him. It would be a sign that Vinny’s learned absolutely nothing.

do we really need a sign?
it’s true until proven otherwise.
